I still maintain that we got banned not because they love chuds but because we were actually destabilizing the liberal base on that website.
I know r/politics mods were screeching at the admins to ban us. We would viciously attack moronic liberals in other subs. They built bots to try an contain us. That stupid chapo check bullshit and the chapo bot. We literally unified the left and it became an immediate threat.
Now look, the left is in disarray and subs like neoliberal and conservative have seen a massive swell in subscribers. Cause there just wasn’t any mitigating force there.
We basically became the Howard Beale of Reddit and subsequently suffered a similar fate.
A main character in the movie Network (came out in the early 70s, and still holds up). I’m going to nutshell it, but he’s basically the evening world news guy for a tv network, he basically snaps and just goes on these long rants every evening about how America is a crumbling shit heap and the powers that be could give a fuck less about us. His ratings go up and the network keeps pushing Beale to keep saying more provocative and some unhinged shit. He basically is then threatened by a true .0001%er (Ned Beatty is honestly fucking amazing in this roll) for stirring up to much shit, upsetting the order and now he will behave or be snuffed out.
Been a minute since I’ve seen the movie but I think that generalizes it. If you haven’t seen Network, I highly recommend it, it’s a fantastic piece of filmmaking

Is it against the rules here to organize reddit raids on this website?
Because raiding some dipshit liberal post with the boys from chapo was unironically really fun. I want to do it again
